Home library service

Home library service

Based at Hammersmith Library, the Home Library Service provides a lifeline for borough residents who, through lack of mobility, are not able to travel to their local branch library.

Home Library Service

Home Library Service readers are visited by a member of library staff who brings a selection of books - including large print, talking books on cassette or CD, music cassettes and CDs, DVDs and videos. These can be kept until the next library visit, which is usually every three weeks.

Anybody, of any age and including children, may apply for this service. Potential new readers are interviewed to assess their needs.

If you know of someone who might benefit from this service, or would like some more information, or are interested in registering, please contact the Home Library Service.
